1. Introduction The CSB.01 cellular booster is a high performance, microprocessor controlled, bidirectional RF booster for the North American 850 MHz cellular and 1900 MHz PCS frequency bands. The booster has an automatic gain and oscillation control system that will automatically adjust the gain and output power if a signal anomaly occurs. This booster is designed to operate as a direct connect "plug and play" unit for maximum performance in weak signal coverage areas. The CSB.01 is equipped with passive bypass technology. This feature allows the booster to be passively bypassed and become a pass through cable when boosting is not necessary, during loss of power or when a fault is detected. This is useful in applications where the booster is mobile, moving in and out of poor signal areas. The booster will bypass itself when close to cell towers, completely eliminating any potential for network disrupting noise power caused by too much amplification near a cell tower. The technology is also extremely useful in fire and security system installations where a network connection must always be maintained, even with loss of power. The CSB.01 has a wide input voltage range of 8.0 to 36.0V allowing for a variety of power sources. Integrated LED diagnostics alert the user to events such as initialization, normal operation, increase in gain, decrease in gain, and fault detection. Please see the Operators Manual for more information. SPE-15-8-004/C/JC Page 2 of 8

5. LED Diagnostics Once the booster is properly installed and power is applied, both LEDs will turn on followed by the green LED flashing. The green LED will flash while the booster increases its gain to the optimum level. The red LED may also flash during this stage while the gain is properly set on the booster. When power control is established, the green LED will remain constantly on. You may see the green and red LEDs flash back and forth; this is normal. In areas where the cellular network is adequate, the booster will maintain a maximum power level acceptable for normal operation and prevent overloading the wireless device, as well as keeping RF signal levels at a minimum for a healthy environment. If the red LED is constantly on and the green LED is off, the booster has detected a fault. The booster will shut down automatically and restart. If the fault persists, reposition the antenna until normal operation is achieved. Once normal operation is established, you may permanently mount the antennas in the locations you chose in prior steps. Diagnostic LED Definitions 1. Solid Green and Red - LED test, the unit is initializing 2. Solid Green - Normal Operation 3. Flashing Green - Normal Operation, increasing gain setting 4. Solid Green and Flashing Red - Normal Operation, decreasing gain setting 5. Solid Red and no Green - Fault Detected SPE-15-8-004/C/JC Page 6 of 8

FCC ID: XS7-WRE2710 IC ID: 8918A-WRE2710 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. The term IC: before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry of Canada technical specifications were met. The Manufacturer's rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced by 3.5 db, especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device. La puissance de sortie nominale indiquée par le fabricant pour cet appareil concerne son fonctionnement avec porteuse unique. Pour des appareils avec porteuses multiples, on doit réduire la valeur nominale de 3,5 db, surtout si le signal de sortie est retransmis et qu'il peut causer du brouillage aux utilisateurs de bandes adjacentes. Une telle réduction doit porter sur la puissance d'entrée ou sur le gain, et ne doit pas se faire au moyen d'un atténuateur raccordé à la sortie du dispositif. FCC Regulatory Guidance: The Taoglas CSB.01.A.001 operates under the rules and regulations as provided by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
